The leader….

of the past… is a doer; of the present, a planner; of the future, a teacher. Their job is to develop capabilities; not to plan the company’s actions but to increase its capacity to act, its responsiveness, and its repertoire…. This kind of leader doesn’t need to know everything; on the contrary, they will want to be surrounded by people who know a whole lot more but trust them to weigh their competing claims

– Thomas A. Stewart.

Some men…

… see things as they are and say, “Why?” I dream of things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’”

– George Bernard Shaw

No person…

…. can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him

– W. A. Nance

Leaders who…

… win the respect of others are the ones who deliver more than they promise, not the ones who promise more than they can deliver.

– Mark Clement

Leaders…

…make things possible. Exceptional leaders make them inevitable.

– Lance Morrow

Our business…

… in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves

– E. Joseph Cossman

Do….

…or do not ….. there is no try.

– Yoda

Who succeeds in…

… forming and leading a great group? He or she is almost always a pragmatic dreamer. They are people who get things done, but they are people with immortal longings. Often, they are scientifically minded people with poetry in their souls

― Warren G. Bennis

Your role….

… as a leader is even more important than you might imagine. You have the power to help people become winners.

– Ken Blanchard

Leaders must be….

… tough enough to fight,

tender enough to cry,

human enough to make mistakes,

humble enough to admit them,

strong enough to absorb the pain,

and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

– Jesse Jackson
